Hi Guys,
So I have a heavily planted tank (see photo) and have small floating plants, however the other day I uprooted a number of plants when trying to catch and re-tank a troublesome fish and left them floating on the surface overnight until the next morning when I replanted them - these plants were swords and other tall large-leaved plants (which you see in the back of the tank in the photo). The next morning, before replanting them, my gouramis and female bettas seemed very happy sitting/hiding in these plants. Given they are surface dwellers and like plant coverage, this is understandable however, I am wondering what large leafed surface plants are available, or if I can float these types of plants which are supposed to be planted - which I don’t think would be possible but if I add fertiliser to the water then could it be?
